Episode notes
- Crosswalk Buttons, Elevator Buttons, and even Thermostats...
- “I swear, in Missouri, if you don’t smack the crosswalk button like you mean it, the cars judge you.”
- Are crosswalk buttons even real?
- Do they actually do anything?Crosswalks are the closest thing adults get to a “please wait for your turn” time-out.The whole world keeps moving, and you’re stuck on a curb, staring at the little red hand judging your life choices.
- Small Missouri anecdote you can slide in
- “In DeSoto, I swear the crosswalk lights move slower than the DMV line. I’ve watched entire family sagas play out while waiting for that little stick figure to start walking.”
- Truth punchline
- Whether the button works or not, we press it because hope is a reflex.
- And maybe that’s the thing worth talking about.
- “So the next time you press a crosswalk button, just know you’re not commanding traffic. You’re participating in a nationwide ritual of pretending we have control over something.”
- “And honestly? There are worse things to believe in.”
